Nana Patekar Once Slammed Salman Khan Over Supporting Pakistani Actors: “Patar Patar Karte Hai, Un Par Dhyan Mat Do”

Nana Patekar is a man who calls spade a spade! If he doesn’t agree on something, he expresses it very brutally and bluntly. Many would know of how he banned working with Sanjay Dutt, a few years back. He shared his views on Dutt very straightforwardly. A similar thing was witnessed by Salman Khan too.

It was all the aftermath of 2016’s Uri attacks that were executed by a terrorist group called Jaish-e-Mohammed. During the deadliest terrorist attack, 17 soldiers of the Indian Army lost their lives. To show solidarity and intolerance to such activities allegedly supported by Pakistan, the Motion Picture Producers Association had made a resolution to not give work to Pakistani artists.

While many supported the resolution, Salman Khan felt the terrorist attack has nothing to do with artists. In one of the media events, he had said, “Pakistani actors are not terrorists. They are artists, not terrorists. It is the Indian government who gives them permits and visas.” As expected, Salman received a lot of backlash, however, not many from the industry spoke about him. It was Nana Patekar who came hard on him.
